ATT tethering and internet issue

not sure if anyone is using their phone while tethering to another device but when i tried to use my phone while tethering, i'm getting a lot of drop connection. It's so bad that while using the stock "internet" application to browse the site or streaming music from sites; it won't load. All this goes away when i shut down the hot spot tethering.
i'm on stock ATT rom with no trip counter flash root and tether mod. if you're having this issue or had this in the past, please leave some feedback and comment as to how you've fixed it. thanks

You are probably getting throttled while on the call. AT&T recently implemented a silent throttle of about 1mbps down and 20kbps up while talking on the phone. This makes all but the simplest web browsing impossible. Using the internet while talking on the phone used to be a feature that made AT&T better. Funny, they still advertise it as a benefit.

Since all stock ROMs are really the same - try AOKP and CM10, see if they're better in this regard.

so i wasn't on call. i was actually streaming music online using the stock "internet application" from Sammy. let me try to explain again.
hot spot is enable - stock app from ATT rom and my Asus tablet is connected. i then stream music using the internet application / similar to the "browser" application on the asus through a website. so basically using flash to listen to music online. then i use my Asus tablet to surf the net. when doing that, i can not stream music at all on my phone.

Maybe you just don't have the mobile bandwidth for it? Is your signal strong? Have you tried running a Speedtest to see what kind of DL speeds you're getting?

i'm having a hard time with the speedtest on this S3. first it's connecting to some far away server than the one that i'm used to and the speed is horrendous. .23 up and .20 down - what in the hell is that!
i get a different connection result when i used my tablet and do the speed test while tethering off my phone.
WEird!

[Q] Wifi Delay - bad connection (kind of a review)

Hi @ all,
So i have been using my Note 2014 for around 3 weeks now.
Despite the lags on the device while browsing or searching in the playstore , i noticed or lets say - i get frustrated that webpages dont load. I have to refresh them several times to finally show up. The same with theplay store and any other app that requires a internet connection.
So what i want to know is, if you guys have experienced the same or if everything works good for you ?
Thanks so far...
Bottom line is that if there would be another tablet (windows or android ) with a good pen like the note has, i would have switched devices immediately i guess. For college the spen is superior than any other pen i had a look at so far. Despite that it is still a good device..

I haven't had any Wi-Fi or BT issues. I compared download speeds between my N3 and N10.1-14 using a 1GB test file and the N10.1-14 was significantly faster using the same router. There are a couple of wireless "issues" threads that point to some N10.1-14s having possible h/w issues. If you're having connection issues across multiple different routers and networks you may have a h/w problem.

I have a similar issue. While websites seem to load normally in the browser, I frequently get connection errors or time outs. For example in the Play Store it has happened several times that, after clicking on an app, the page for that app can't be loaded and al I see is a 'reload' button in the middle of the page. Clicking that loads the page quickly and I never actually disconnect from my wifi. I have also had to re initiate several app downloads as the initial download created an error. This happened mostly (if not exclusively) when I send the app through chrome on my laptop. At least one other app also has some connection issues sometimes after it gets a push notification that triggers the app to update.
I feel like the issue is when the tablet tries to send data right after or while it's receiving data.

Thats really weird. If i dont find a solution for this i will trade it in. Im currently keeping it only for the great spen feature. There is currently way too less competition for tablets with a good working active stylus (only wacom technology atm)

Similar issue here, but maybe not to the same extent as yours.
For me the most prevalent apps that have this issue is the play store and youtube. I will frequently get connection error/server error on those apps. The funny thing is I can open browser in a pen window and load any site just fine while this happens, it's the apps that refuse to load pages. So I believe my internet is fine, it's an issue with the apps. I'm gonna try factory resetting later.

Here's the Wi-Fi performance of my N10.1-14 (on the right) and N3 compared. They are connected to the same network, were tested in the same location, and tested within minutes of each other. On average, the N10.1-14 actually outperforms the N3 in signal strength. If you notice in the elapsed time chart there aren't any major dips in the connection speed which there would be if there were a signal or h/w problem.

Mind giving me the name of the app or how you ran the test ?
I just downloaded a normal download speed app. The result was really odd. While my nexus showed a speed of around 3 mbs (wtf?!!) , my note showed a speed of around 25mbs. But if i open websites or browse youtube or whatever , my nexus is always way faster...

Thanks. I dont understand it :
I ran the app.
Nexus 4 : 12mbps
Note 2014 : 121 mbps
They both use the same wifi. But still the whole internet perfomance is way slower than on the nexus .
Thanks for your answers. When the storm is gone i will go to the store and trade it in...

I am one of the guys here which didn't have any lags (And I am known to fast devices). Also with the stock browser and play store I have no issues. Everything is fast... so it must be something else which interfere here.
PS. I made a test together with my HTC one and when the Note was faster by loading pages.

[Q] WIFI Speed Issues

Hi Folks,
Looking for some help please, my wife got the new xperia z1 compact last week but has been having issues with it since she got it when connected to wifi.
The problem is the internet connection speed is less than 5mb when connected to the wifi, now the internet in the house that the issue is with is 120mb connection and I have tested several other smartphones, tablets and laptops and everything else is working fine.
I have tried deleting the wifi connection and reconnecting it made no difference, we done a factory restore of the phone and it made no difference either.
We then took the phone back got a replacement handset and brought the phone home, and guess what the exact same issues still even with this new handset.
any ideas please folks as this is really frustraing 4G connection is faster when she goes outside

Can you be more clear. Is the connection speed (wifi) only on the phone 5MBit/s or does the connection speed of the whole wifi network drop to 5MBit/s when your wife is connected?

The whole wifi network is fine and stable its only the phone thats not able to get above 5mbs
The strange thing was the replacement phone tested fine for speed as soon as we unboxed it but 1 hour later it was right back to where we started from

How did you measure the speeds? With the app 'Speedtest'?
How many bars does the wifi connection show on the phone? Is it possible that the phone is downloading data in the background?

yes I used the speedtest app to check the speed, the wifi signal shows as full strength on the phone.
I have checked to see if there was anything running in the background and there was not
I also checked this over several days incase it was a data or update that was happening to the phone but still no change

Well that's weird. And another phone (on the same spot) has faster connection? Have you tried on different wifis (e.g. at work)?

Yeah tried other phones and a tablet and all working fine
Unable to connect to a wifi at work as it's locked down
No other open wifi connections avail near me either just now

Ok so just wiped the phone again and set up as a brand new device
New google account etc
Only downloaded speed test app and everything was looking great and the speeds were 50mb
Then the phone updated infoeye and since that update was Downloaded and installed the wifi speed is now back to no more than 5mb

Then try to disable infoeye and test again. Speed should be high again if I am not mistaken.

Tried that and made no difference. Phone returned and the wife has gone back to a different handset which is working

They can add as many gadgets to the same wifi, the Z1 Compact isn`t meant to support more. I tried it on different wifis, in different towns, it`s almost the same thing

What do you mean? I am on a wifi with atleast 20 other devices and I don't have any problem.

i got a pretty similar issue. It's not only the internet-speed, it's wifi-speed in general. Tried to copy at 200 MB file from my NAS via wifi to the phone. Speeds go up to 2 MB/s for short, but suddenly drops to about 300-500 kb/s and stays there. Copying the same file to other devices (tablet, Laptop, HTC One) runs with 2,5 MB/s stable.

Try/internet speed Master from play store worked for me

Seems there are some wifi performance degradation with some WIFI 802.11g routers.
I have 1 router which I could not reach more 2 mbit, no matter of signal.

Note 2 WiFi battery drain (GT-N7100)

Hi! Lets make this work please!
My battery drains 30-40% over night when I'm connected to my home WiFi. Now here is what I did:
1. Tried other WiFi networks and none of them drain battery like my home network.
2. Changed Roms (both tw and cm based)
3. Changed kernels
4. Changed bootloader
5. Changed modems
6. Changed battery
7. This is where I concluded that my phone couldn't be the problem so I've decided to change my home router.
8. Tried to change wpa2-psk--> wep.
9. Tried to change configuration with my network provider.
10. Tried third router as my last option.
None of this helped me, and I'm not seeing any link between all of these that could be my problem. All of this started after 1 year of owning my phone, and has been going for about half a year now. I would like any suggestions as I'm out of ideas right now. Sorry for the long post :/

It is clear that your phone is alright. So this forum won't be much help.

Yeah, but I can't find anything that could work so that's why I made this thread, maybe someone can give me a good advice or an idea what to do next. Thanks anyway
"The music is different here."

If you are in an area where there are lots of other wifi signals around, I would try to change the wifi router to a different channel.
I had some other wifi issues until I figured out everyone around me was saturating the specific channel I was using.
I used the app wifi analyzer on the play store, and selected a channel that no one was using for my router.
Not saying that it will definitely solve your issues, but it is worth a try.

Thanks for the reply I have tried changing WiFi channels but it didn't work, however I didn't use any apk but directly from my router. I will definitely try this when I get home though!

The app just shows what channels are used around you and it's strength. In the attached pic there is not much wifi around but as an example I moved my channel on my router from 1 to 6 since there is already 2 other ones on 1.
Normally it is bad mobile reception though that drains battery like mad. Do you have good reception where you are located? Leave your mobile data off for the night to test whether that was the cause. You have swapped routers, so it could probably be mobile related at your location.
I know you have tried modems. I upgraded my Note II to newer firmware but had horrific reception causing bad battery life at some locations . Flashing only the older modern from my previous firmware sorted that. You tried that, so no help there.
If you are on touchwiz based rom you can look at disabling fast dormancy via the store app too. Some mobile networks / towers don't support it and can cause drain like mad.
Good luck.

Yo! My network reception is really good where I live so no problem there, my battery drain is horrible only on my home WiFi network. When I connect to my neighbor's wifi I get barely any drain even though it barely catches any signal from it. I will look into this fast dormancy thingie as I have no idea what that is, and test it again. I'm in another town right now on college, but I'll get home as soon as I can to try this, and maybe try changing my channels again. Thanks for your help and suggestions, I'll just try to get as many ideas as I can right now so I can test the sh*t out of my phone

Your wifi is possessed dude. Safer to stay in the other town for now... Lol. Anyway enjoy and good luck.

Redmi note 8 bad connection with great internet speeds!

Hello.. I bought my phone about 4 months ago, and in all games the connection drops. The games keep on reconnecting to the server, my internet is excellent, I have 100mps upload and 100mps download, on other devices at home I can get that exact speed but my phone struggles to reach even 40mps...
I tried everything but it looks like it's the phone problem what can I do to fix this?
I can't play any game for some time, even at speed tests the test goes down in speed randomly
Thanks for the help

Same here
